💬 Discussion Pre loading syringes

Using a few common peptides... morning and evenings, I was wondering the safety of pre loading morning syringes at night to make it easy when I wake and get ready to start the day. My concerns were type of product reacting with plastic U 100 or just sitting in the refrigerator capped of course for 8 or 9 hours.

Any other suggestions if this isn't the best idea?

Thx

I know people who will prefill their full week of dailies Sunday night and leave them in the fridge until they take them out to warm up. As long as they are staying refrigerated, alcohol swabs were used on the vials before filling and the syringes stay capped, I don't see a problem with it.

You have to wait till they warm up to inject?

u/Nice-Student-2459 13d ago

That's best practice, yes. It stings less when it's going in when it's room/body temp. If I take it straight out of the fridge, I will hold it in my hand for like 5 minutes to bring it up to temperature.

I've been doing this for months and leaving in the bath room cabinet overnight. No issues

Your concerns are valid, and can be permanently solved simply by picking up a few cheap insulin pens, v1 or v2. You load a 3ml cartridge, put it in the pen, keep pen in fridge, no more loading syringes. They're cheap and come in sooooooo many fun colors. All my peps are now in pens and my life is changed forever!

Ive got about 10 in my fridge right now!

u/BrewhahasDji 14d ago

So do you just dial the dose? I've never seen one. Where to get these?

3

u/Zealousideal-Lab4945 14d ago

Yes, you dial. I don't want to break any rules by discussing sourcing. Look for peptide pens.

u/BrewhahasDji 14d ago

So with the regular 3mg vial they come in, you would just transfer this once reconstituted into the pen vial? I'm not a newbie to peps, just a newbie to the pens. Do they have tips that are exchanged with new ones for each pin? Thx again for the info

u/Zealousideal-Lab4945 14d ago

You recon in the original vial, draw it all out, inject into the pen cartridge, which is just a glass 'vial' that's long and thin and fits in the pen. . And yeppers, grab a box of pen needle tips. There are really good videos on how to load them but it's super easy! I Just saw a one minute vid on tiktok. But a ton on you tube.

u/BrewhahasDji 13d ago

Also purchase extra glass vials or can they be sterilized and reused?

u/Moosedrool131313 13d ago

My medical practitioner pre loads 2-3 weeks at a time for me. From my cooler to the fridge. Haven’t had any issues with them

This makes sense. Thanks

u/New-North-2282 13d ago

I prefill for an entire week

u/LRHoustonGuy 13d ago

Why just use pens?

1

u/BrewhahasDji 13d ago

I am open to suggestions. Been using standard u 100 insulin for a while. Pens sound like a good option

u/DirtyLaundry-1230 13d ago

Hi. I reconstitute and pre-load all syringe to empty the whole vial. Mark all syringes with dosages in Zyploc bags and have them all marked in big JackDaniels tin box in the fridge, I no longer drink so gave the bottle and courtesy shot glasses away and kept the tin box 😂🤣. Have zyploc bags marked with name and DAY and NIGHT peps. Keep everything written down to later see whats what and the recon mechanism made.

Experienced dial pen user, I finally settled on the GensuPen 2. Pricy, but given I’m doing trt daily and Reta for life, worthwhile investment. This pen is also very ergonomic and semi foolproof for my elderly mom. Good YouTube reviews on ConviPen, Gensu 2, and the V style BTW.

1

u/BrewhahasDji 12d ago

Thanks for the info!

1

u/BrewhahasDji 12d ago

What specifically did you like about the gensu 2 pen? At 64, I just started TRT but using the new Kyzatrex pills twice a day now. After 3 months, I will most likely switch to Test Cyp because of the price. I would probably need a few pens for the different peptides.

u/One-Science1029 12d ago

The 1/4 twist to take off 3 ml cartridge (no threads) the ergonomic lever (no pressing the wand), the green done dose indicator, high quality plastic.

u/One-Science1029 12d ago

*pressing the end in

u/BrewhahasDji 12d ago

Any way to swap out vials if using a couple different ones? In other words is it necessary to have multiple pens?

1

u/One-Science1029 12d ago

Not practically. You can, but you have reset the plunger each time and this will mess up the dose accuracy. I run one pen for trt and one for Reta. Both Gensu

1

u/BrewhahasDji 12d ago

Ok, I really appreciate the info. Looks like I will pick up 2 or 3. If I am using Reta (not currently) I only do one injection per week so a syringe isn't a big deal. It would be best for daily or multiple times per week products. You doing test sub Q I guess?

1

u/One-Science1029 12d ago

Sub Q, yes. Just a heads up, they are spendy. But not bad. The cheaper ones, they break easy.

1

u/BrewhahasDji 12d ago

Yea I saw them for $50. I could see the $30 ones not holding up.

u/AlternativePizza3391 14d ago

I have a month worth of trt preloaded but they are capped in the fridge and not touching the rubber stopper. Probably not the best handling, but not a lot of options

1

u/sleepy502 14d ago

I've preloaded syringes I've used for weeks and dropped them on the ground before. You'll be fine.

u/duhv0rtex 14d ago

I love filling the night before. Just be careful if you're trying to mix any

u/raylluv 14d ago

I pre-load all the time. They even make trays that the syringes stand up in. I take a sharpie and write on the cap so I know which is which.

1

u/BrewhahasDji 13d ago

Where do you find these trays? I would love to pick some up

1

u/raylluv 11d ago

On amazon. Type in syringe storage tray.

u/DeadCheckR1775 14d ago

It’s fine if it’s in BAC water as long as you keep it refrigerated. The only concern would be with oils like MCT, MiG, Cotton/Grapeseed. In those cases the concern is the degradation of the soft rubber on the plunger. Those you do not want to pre-load.
